21·24 days agoThis should serve as motivation to move away from any and all corporations. Do not lose your community. Find a proper free-libre-open-source alternative and move the community there. Communities are important. Corporations are not.

212·24 days agoSlightly Off-Topic:
I never liked Discord. First and foremost, nowadays, I cannot log into it when I am using a VPN. And back when I could, it always felt so laggy and clunky.
I think todays society is not used to performant software. Everyone just buys a new computer/smartphone every year or every 2 years or so, so they probably have compute power to run whatsoever. I run old shit. 13 year old desktops or so, with no dedicated graphics card, old smartphones, etc. I need software to be performant.

2·26 days agoI am not sure if you are aware, but there is a “fandom wiki” dictionary maker: https://github.com/Runik-3/core. I have used it in the past and it works perfectly.

2·26 days agoThank you!
I will try it out later and see how it goes. Did you take this from Kobo itself? It would be nice to learn how to do that!

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•With the recent "spotify hack", can one now easily get songs from that hack?English
1·1 month agoSorry for asking a question?
If they WERE in Anna’s Archive, the answer would be “yes”. That is, one can get the songs, and one can do it by going to Anna’s Archive. However, the fact that the songs are NOT in Anna’s Archive, does not prove that the songs from that hack cannot be obtained, which was my question. They could be elsewhere. In some specific site made for that hack. Or some torrent, or something like that. Someplace I don’t know about.
Thank you for replying, regardless.

Can you also do this with other languages? The PT-PT (Portuguese, from Portugal) dictionary on Kobo is quite ok. I would love to have it available on KOReader.

Edit: Here’s a link to the color version of the SOED if anyone is interested in that one https://archive.org/details/soedrich-star-dict-2022-11-11
I haven’t tested them yet. Maybe it would be nice if some other people saved them, to safeguard them.
EDIT: I tested them on KOReader. They work. Yay.
I am still looking for a good dictionary PT-PT. If anyone knows of anything, let me know, please.

News@lemmy.world•ICU nurse with no criminal record who ‘cared deeply for people’: What we know about Alex Pretti, victim of ICE shooting
6·1 month agoI am right there with you. And I see some people referring to him as “charismatic”. A point that is often made is “JD Vance won’t be able to do anything since he is not charismatic”. And I think to myself “What the fuck? Anyone is more charismatic than that fat ugly pedophile piece of shit Trump”.
I think people are confusing terms. In my opinion, Trump is not in his position because he is charismatic. He is in his position because he is stupid as fuck. Almost to the point of being retarded (sorry for the term, but fuck that). People of power see Trump as POTUS and think “wait, he is so stupid, I can use him for my own gains”. And they do so. Trump is a marioinette.
Trump is an ugly evil person. But worse than that, he is showing how ugly and evil other people are. And those other people seem to be a significant portion of the population!! Everyone who is taking advantage of him is equally ugly and evil. This is the most scary thing to me. Not that Trump is evil, but that the number of people that are equally evil is larger than 30%.

News@lemmy.world•Live: Man shot by federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning, witnesses say
31·1 month agoI have no words. I am literally speechless at what is currently happening in the US. I have to force myself to have words and they are all a mixture of vengeance and justice. Like… holly fuck.
There is still a long way to go. A long way to go. But after all this is said and done, if there is an after, I hope you never forget these pieces of shit. I hope you force whomever comes next to hand you these people. They do not deserve jail, they deserve justice as given from the community. They are evil behind comprehension. Seems like you cannot give an inch to the right, as they will let their evilness take over and go after everyone, mercilessly.
I hope there is good work being done on identifying and preserving whoever these evil pieces of shit, motherfuckers, morons, idiots, pedophiles, are. And when this is all done, you fucking drive all of them out of society. You bully them as long and as hard as possible.
Pieces of shit motherfuckers.
To my American brothers, I am truly sorry for what is happening. I don’t know the right thing to say. I want to motivate you to do what needs to be done, but at the same time, I am fully aware that it is hard.

What?
I don’t think you know what centralization/decentralization means.
On matrix, you scan spin up a server/instance and communicate with any other matrix server/instance. On Fluxer, if you self-host, and your friend also self-hosts, your instance/server cannot communicate with your friend’s instance/server. You would have to create an account on your friend’s instance/server and vice-versa. You would also, probably, have to be running two clients in order to chat in both servers/instances.
